Wish I could afford a nicer winch but until this thing breaks I wont worry about it.

Couple of hours on snowy roads. First time I have really spent any time out in the snow with it gotta say did better than expected.

 

That's one thing about XJs, they are unstoppable in the snow, even towing a heavy trailer as I found out. The only time the snow stopped ours was when it was snowing so hard and we were driving so long that ice had built up on the grill almost a foot thick and caused it to overheat lol.

 

I drove in the rain and hit some flooded spots in hopes of washing a majority of the salt off.

 

started my axle swap.
